woman wounded

A 73-year-old woman was injured when gunfire hit four homes, including hers, in Aurora Monday night, police said.

Police were seeking help identifying the shooter in the incident, which happened in the 1000 block of Ohio Court about 8:20 p.m., Aurora Police spokesman Dan Ferrelli said in a news release.

One of the stray bullets penetrated the woman's house and struck her in the abdomen as she walked down a hallway, Ferrelli said. No one else was injured. Late this morning, she was still hospitalized, but no condition report was available.

Police "have little information and do not yet know if the shots were fired by [someone] on foot or in a vehicle," Ferrelli said in the release.

Ferrelli asked that anyone with information contact the Aurora Police Department at 630-801-6655, or Aurora Crime Stoppers at 630-892-1000. Callers to Crime Stoppers are anonymous and can qualify for cash rewards of up to $5,000 if their information leads to arrests.
